Eat some rough food properly to increase the self-cleaning ability of oral cavity and enhance the disease resistance of periodontal tissue;
In addition, avoid developing bad habits such as unilateral chewing, mouth breathing and pen biting, and try to reduce the number of sweets.
How to make children's oral health?
1. Encourage children to eat more fiber food and enhance chewing function. Children should pay attention to a balanced diet, not picky eaters, and eat more foods with high fiber content and rich nutrition such as fresh vegetables and fresh fruits, which is not only conducive to the self-cleaning of teeth, but also conducive to the growth and development of oral and maxillofacial regions, promoting the orderly arrangement of teeth and enhancing the chewing function of teeth. 2. Urge children not to eat after brushing their teeth before going to bed. When sleeping, there is little saliva secretion in the mouth, and the self-cleaning effect of the mouth is poor. If you eat after brushing your teeth before going to bed, there is no point in brushing your teeth. In addition, children should develop regular eating habits, except for three meals a day, and try to eat less snacks.
3. When children learn to brush their teeth, parents should help and urge children aged three to four to significantly improve their hands-on ability and physical coordination ability. Parents and teachers can start teaching their children to brush their teeth by simply "drawing circles". The key point is to put the toothbrush on the tooth surface, gently press the toothbrush to bend it, draw a circle on the tooth surface, and draw three to five circles on each part repeatedly. In addition, parents should help their children brush their teeth once a day.
4. Help children to quit bad oral habits as soon as possible. Everyone should quit the bad habits in children's life, such as sucking fingers, biting lower lip and opening tongue. Preschool children should have an oral health examination every six months. At this stage, the dental arch begins to change, and there is a gap between the teeth, which is ready for the teeth, but it is easy to cause food blockage and lead to dental caries. Therefore, if they find that their children have dental caries, they should be treated as soon as possible.
5. Using fluoride toothpaste to prevent dental caries in deciduous teeth Fluoride toothpaste has a certain preventive effect on dental caries. Preschool children can use fluoride toothpaste to brush their teeth, but the dosage standard is pea size, and under the supervision and guidance of parents or teachers, mistakes can be prevented.
Children's teeth are very important, and healthy dental care should start from an early age. Therefore, parents have the responsibility and obligation to supervise their children and brush their teeth carefully every day, which is good for their future. Don't have bad teeth at an early age.
Because of different age groups, children's cognitive ability and tooth eruption development are also different, so it is necessary to take corresponding oral health care measures for each age group.
Developing good oral hygiene habits is not only conducive to the prevention of oral diseases, but also benefits children for life.
What oral knowledge do you need to know to see the four stages of children's growth with Hua Zhi?
First, infancy (0~ 1 year)
It is very important to start some basic oral health care measures in the first year after a child is born.
Second, early childhood (1~3 years old)
This age is the period when Streptococcus mutans colonizes the oral cavity of infants, and Streptococcus mutans is the main cause of dental caries.
Third, preschool and school age (3~6 years old, 6~ 12 years old)
At this time, the child has not fully mastered the method of brushing teeth, and his self-discipline is poor. Therefore, parents must continue to help (preschool) or supervise (school-age) children to brush their teeth.
Iv. Puberty (12~ 18 years old)
It is very important for dentists and parents to continue to help and guide teenagers through this difficult period.
Children's oral health is indeed a very serious problem. First, children have no awareness of protecting their teeth. Second, many parents have no awareness of oral health now. If the child is rotten, wait for a tooth change. Therefore, parents should first take care of their children's oral health. The specific methods to keep children's oral health are as follows:
First, parents should supervise their children to brush their teeth, especially before going to bed. Don't let the child do it twice with a toothbrush.
Second, control children to brush their teeth before going to bed and stop eating. Some children dare to sleep with sugar. Usually children should learn to gargle after meals.
Third, do some preventive measures for children, such as pit and fissure sealing and fluoride coating for six-year-old teeth. Now many local governments have subsidies to give children free pit and fissure closure.
Fourth, the deciduous teeth are rotten, and children should take them to fill them before they are old enough to change their teeth. If it's really rotten, do something to keep your teeth open.
Fifth, often buy some nuts for children to eat, which is conducive to the development of children's jaws and the replacement of permanent tooth pressure. Nowadays, many children just eat too carefully, and the deciduous teeth that grow under constant pressure haven't come out, which leads to the so-called "double row of teeth"
1, try to eat less sweets, avoid drinking drinks and sugar water, let children develop the habit of drinking boiled water, and prevent dental caries and tooth decay from childhood. That's all that matters.
2. Cultivate good hygiene habits, brush your teeth frequently and brush your teeth correctly.
3. Cultivate children to breathe through the nose, especially after catching a cold, and cure them thoroughly in time, avoid breathing through the mouth, and ensure the normal development of teeth and jaws.
Babies generally start teething at 6 months, and oral health care is given when teething.
Dentist's advice:
1. The baby has deciduous teeth at the age of two and a half. Teeth are fed in bottles and soaked in milk for a long time. Milk powder has high sugar content and is easy to cause dental caries. You should brush your teeth or rinse your mouth after eating milk. 2. From the oral hygiene in childhood, make sure to brush your teeth twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and rinse your mouth after meals; Keep the tooth surface clean, organize dental plaque adhesion, and develop good oral hygiene habits.
3. Try to avoid polysaccharide food and snack sugar from becoming acidic substances that damage teeth under the action of oral bacteria. Therefore, let children have less contact with sweets and carbonated drinks, eat more foods rich in calcium and crude fiber, and pay attention to balanced nutrition. 4. For children prone to dental caries, pit and fissure sealing and fluoride coating should be carried out at the peak of dental caries in children aged 3-6. Parents should regularly observe their children's teeth and go to the dentist for examination every six months 1 time. Regular fluoride application can promote enamel mineralization, effectively prevent dental caries and prevent dental caries in children. Tooth decay should be treated immediately. If a decayed tooth is not treated for a long time, it will be related to the teeth around the image, so it should be treated in time if it is broken, otherwise it will affect the development of permanent enamel, and the long-term loss of deciduous teeth will affect the development of alveolar bone, leading to facial dysplasia, uneven teeth, and even the intake of body nutrients will affect the whole body development. 6. For those who have bad habits such as covering the sky, breathing with the mouth, biting the lips, letting the fingers, holding the cheeks, spitting out the tongue, etc., muscle function should be corrected and occlusion induction should be intervened as early as possible to avoid greater malocclusion and facial skeletal development in the future.
1, breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is beneficial to prevent dental caries in infants. When breastfeeding, you should maintain the correct feeding posture. When feeding or artificially feeding with a bottle, the bottle should not be tilted to one side, and the baby's upper and lower jaws should not be pressed too tightly. Clean your baby's mouth with a little warm water after feeding.
2. Help and supervise children to brush their teeth.
Children are young and have short attention span, so parents should teach and help them brush their teeth. You can choose a nylon toothbrush with soft hair and small head, which is convenient for cleaning teeth and massaging gums. Parents should help their children brush their teeth once a day (preferably at night) until their children go to primary school, so as to ensure the effect of brushing their teeth.
3, accept oral health examination
3-6 years old is the peak of children's dental caries. At this stage, the dental arch began to change, and gaps appeared between teeth, which easily caused food impaction and adjacent caries. Therefore, it is suggested that preschool children receive oral health examination once every six months.
Maintaining and improving oral health must start from preschool children. Healthy and complete deciduous dentition can play a normal chewing function and ensure the normal growth and development of permanent teeth and maxillofacial bones. It is not only conducive to children's accurate pronunciation, but also can guide the normal eruption of permanent teeth, so that children can get healthy and use permanent teeth for life.
1. Pay attention to brushing your teeth, especially at night. Don't eat after brushing your teeth. Try to brush your teeth once a week. Don't finish it every two or three times, 3-5 minutes at a time.

Here are some suggestions for parents to share with you ~
1. Pay attention to children's oral health. Mainly living and eating habits.
Nowadays, many children like sweets very much, which is actually the main cause of dental caries. Control the intake of sweets, so try not to eat sweets and brush your teeth before going to bed. Children's teeth are tender, so try to choose a soft toothbrush to avoid damaging the enamel.
2. Parents should do a good demonstration of oral hygiene, and don't give their children food that has been eaten from their mouths, especially parents with dental problems, because Streptococcus mutans in your mouth will be passed on to your children in this way, thus increasing the risk of dental caries. Help urge children to brush their teeth normally, and the power of example is great ~
3。 Take your child to the dentist every 3-6 months regularly, protect your teeth, check your teeth regularly, and deal with problems in time.
Finally, if the child snores during sleep, his nose is often stuffy or he is used to breathing through his mouth, it is recommended to see a dentist or otolaryngology department. Oral breathing may be caused by many factors such as tonsil, nasal cavity or oral cavity problems, and some tooth deformities may also lead to airway stenosis and affect breathing.
